The exhibition contains photos and documents about people who ‘belonged to be’ at Newlyn from historic times until the post war period.

Some, who ‘belonged to be’ at Penlee Quarry, did a variety of jobs and their working practices changed over time. ‘Belonging’ also included the people who lived nearby and what they had to endure!

Charlie North was a well known Newlyn character, often about in his horse and cart. He lived at Zimmerman’s Cot in the Coombe and later at Herbert Villa in New Road. There are many and conflicting stories about this colourful character.

The Wink was once called The Lamorna Inn. Can you help name its landlords and help us date their tenancies?

Diane Donohue and Denny Harvey will be available to help people who want to find out about their family history.

Trinity's Ebb and Flow project will be inviting people to help ‘Spread a little Newlyn sunshine’ by recording their thoughts about Newlyn on the petals of their giant Sunflower.

Pete Joseph will be manning his scanner and can copy your photos and documents so that your family ‘belonging to be’ in Newlyn will be on permanent record.
